Edible, Wild Plants of Western Canada, Including the North West and the Yukon Territories.

As all of my regular readers will now know, especially in today's MODERN world in which producers and manufacturers are allowed to deliberately inject poisons and toxins into our staple foods; there is no such thing as a perfectly"SAFE FOOD"; this list only contains only what are generally considered to be “safe” plants-those that are easy to identify and have no deadly poisonous look-a-likes and contain enough nourishment to keep you alive-thus making you the real SURVIVOR. See  also: Real Red Willow-Not Dogwood, Aspen and Poplar, Gift of the Conifers. Ferns and Fiddle-heads, There are many others that are equally edible but that present some risk.
